Hoi An is the epicenter of tailor shops in Vietnam. You can't take more than two steps without someone tapping you on the shoulder and saying, "hello... you want new suit??" (you also can't take more than two steps without hearing a motorbike honking at you).
With over 200 tailor shops in town, it's hard to choose which shop to go into. We tried one shop, but their clothes were all a bit frumpy. The lady told us to look through a catalog for something we liked, but it was basically an outdated edition of England's version of JC Penney's. So we kept walking until we saw a shop with something cool on a mannequin. The woman was really nice, and the shirts and dresses are really cheap. Makes it hard to say no. One day later, we have new custom tailored clothes!
